Problem emailing a .pdf attachment
Whenever I try to send someone a .pdf file as an attachment, the coding for the attachment shows up as many lines of garbage in the body of the message. If I send a copy back to myself, the file is visible in the attachments box in the message window, (as well as the lines of code in the message body) but apparently people using other email clients are unable to find or view the file. All they see is the lines of code. If I send a .jpg file as an attachment, it works fine and doesn't have this problem. I've looked for an incorrect configuration setting, but haven't been able to find it. BTW, this is SeaMonkey v1.1.19. I'm not quite ready to go to v2. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Left clicking always brings up menu in SM2 on OSX?
Ever hear of these symptoms? Know of any cures? SM2 (latest version as of about 2 months ago) on an Intel Mac Mini running Leopard is behaving VERY STRANGELY. Left clicks on buttons, menu items, and certain other UI features that ought to cause actions, often cause a pop-up menu to be displayed, in addition to whatever action they're supposed to take. If one is not careful to move the mouse out of the menu before releasing it, one ends up performing unintended actions, which may have very undesirable consequences. Example: in SM's mail window, EVERY time the Get Msgs Icon is clicked, a menu appears offering some choices, the first of which is to customize a toolbar. File - Get New Messages gets new messages and brings up some other menu which must be carefully dismissed. This has made SM2 unusable for my elderly relative. After struggling with that unwanted menus for some time, the entire bar of icons including Get Msgs icon disappeared, and I have no idea how she can get it back. Now her SM2 is effectively non-functional for email. This is a brand new OS/X install on a clean disk with SM2 and almost no extensions or plugins (quicktime, Adobe PDF reader). It has an Apple two-button mighty mouse, and the buttons were configured properly (right mouse separate from left mouse, buttons not reversed) recently. She's being careful to left-click.

People who mention a 12-year-old M$ OS (which is always running as root) often have experienced being pwned by a drive-by infection or borking their OS by deleting system files. There are numerous Free Software distros which will work on gear of that vintage and which don't have those problems. People who run those very old M$ OSes on very old boxes are also finding that the brand new peripherals they can buy don't have Win98 device drivers. Linux, OTOH, has the best hardware support of *ANY* OS. Windoze also continues to use the fragile, cumbersome Windoze Registry. Linux doesn't have that either. Windoze has always had Windoze Product Keys; the latest M$ OSes now have Windoze Product Activation and Windoze Genuine DISadvantage (aka remote kill switches controlled by M$). Linux doesn't have ANY of that nonsense. Many people think their ONLY choice is to buy new gear and get a new M$ OS. Largely because of M$'s illegal anti-competitive activities, may folks are not even *aware* that they have OTHER options. Linux is a solution that is available at zero cost --without the M$ gotchas. It works on old gear and you *don't* have to install it to try it. (Linux will **run** from the plastic disk.) Many have found Linux to be a way to give new life to old gear. Others cast off their old boxes (which are then picked up for a song--or even for free-- by Linux guys who restore their usefulness for $0). http://google.com/search?q=Helios-Project+Ken-Starks The point is that folks have choices. The fact that there are zero-cost solutions to problems is also appealing to some. ...and, again, the openness of Free Software is another factor that may be appealing.

Testing SeaMonkey 2.0.9 candidates - help wanted!
Hi everyone, All the builds for SeaMonkey 2.0.9 have been created (updates are available on the betatest channel soon, going to beta as soon as I have a few reports of the builds not being busted), so it's time for starting tests on them to ensure we get an update out there that is worth shipping to all our 2.0.x users. Please help us testing the Windows installers, Mac disk images and Linux packages, all available in 24 languages including US English. The packages are available in the linux-i686, mac, and win32 subdirectories of http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/2.0.9-candidates/build1/ Once again, the linux-x86_64 build is NOT OFFICIAL and NOT ENDORSED. It will be listed as contributed build even if it was technically created by our build system, and it will be treated in no other way than usual contributed builds. In other words, it's just an experiment. Please use the builds for any usage patterns you can think of, possibly also doing a https://litmus.mozilla.org/run_tests.cgi?test_run_id=7 smoketest run on them. I know that Litmus run isn't perfect, but it's the best we have right now. Localizers, please test the builds in your locale, any updates can be taken with further sign-offs (in the new tool) for 2.0.10 and future updates. If no problems come up in testing those builds, they will probably go live as the official 2.0.9 on September 7, in sync with Firefox and Thunderbird updates that will fix the same set of security issues. The list of bugs fixed in this update contains 16 public reports thus far, 22 security issues are currently hidden and only to be disclosed upon release of our updates.

Rex rexduderemoveandreversedom...@liam.ur wrote: Currently he's on the latest version of Firefox. I figured that having one combined client would work nice - especially when he clicks a link in an email and it opens in the browser, or clicks a mailto link in the browser and it opens an email compose window instantly. Whereas with 2 separate clients it would take time to load. Also for other reasons, I've let IE7 be the default browser on the system so if he clicks a link it might end up launching IE and further confusing him. With that information, SeaMonkey makes the most sense. Links in TB would indeed open the default browser. Links in the SM mail client would open the browser component of SM, as you desire, and mailto's as well. There is no way to get FF and TB to do that without setting both as the system default. Then again, is there a compelling reason not to set them as the default apps? I love SeaMonkey, and recommend it. The only downside I see is that they are tied together. If something occurs that freezes one component, the whole application freezes. Still, SM would seem to make sense in this case.
